2009: Call for Entries

PDX Film Fest 2009 - Recap

Peripheral Produce’s Eighth Annual Portland Documentary and eXperimental Film Festival (PDX Fest, for short) is now accepting submissions for its five-day exposition taking place
May 6th – 10th, 2009 in Portland, Oregon.

PDX Fest is dedicated to showcasing new and innovative work in film and video from around the world. Focusing on non-narrative work that goes against the grain of mainstream entertainment, the PDX Fest is looking for artistic, underground, quirky and challenging work that reflects contemporary culture, documents historic oddities, and is otherwise unclassifiable.

Experimental, documentary and/or underground work of all lengths will be considered. Exhibition formats include 35mm, 16mm, Beta SP, and DV. Live, multi-media and performance-based works with a film or video emphasis are also encouraged to submit. We are also accepting video installation proposals for the festival’s satellite installation exhibit. Please see submission guidelines for complete details.

Deadline: December 12, 2008
Late Deadline: January 23, 2009 (late fee applies)
